How can it be that Summer is almost upon us? A quick glance at the calendar indicates that Memorial Day weekend is just couple of days away, and that means that our virtual May Tent Sale is, too!
Twice a year, we offer unwashed, odd-weight skeins at a significant savings ranging from 25-35% off! These skeins are top quality but a bit lighter or heavier than normal, so it is possible that they will work up at a slightly different gauge than our full priced skeins.
We are looking for two new fiber lovers to become crucial parts of our team in Putney, Vermont! As a worker owned co-op, we are seeking two applicants with comfort/ability to work alongside others with the potential after two years to become fellow owners.
2023 brought more new visitors to the Mill than ever before. We’ve shared with them the history of our co-op from its founding in 1981 to our newest yarns that are still on the bobbins.
Their enthusiasm for our process and our products reminds us afresh everyday that making beautiful yarn is important work. In your hands, the gorgeous skeins of yarn that we spin from natural fibers become cherished keepsakes. They warm and comfort your family, friends and members of your community.

We are hard at work spinning up a storm of fresh skeins so that we and some of your favorite fiber producers and indie dyers will have fresh inventory to share with you in the coming months.
